Culture Awards Night Delivers Joyful Surprises

Quick Smiles:

• Lisa Rinna wins for expressing her unique style
• Quinta Brunson celebrates big achievement with a joyful speech

The 2025 Las Culturistas Culture Awards returned with their trademark humor, hosted by Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang and airing on Bravo.

Over 100 quirky award categories kept the crowd delighted and the mood light throughout the two-hour ceremony.

“The word ‘culture’ is defined as ‘the arts and other manifestations of human intellectual achievement regarded collectively,’” Rogers and Yang said in a statement. “We are so thrilled to eliminate that whole ‘intellectual’ part entirely with the LCCAs airing on Bravo and Peacock this August, alongside our partners at Lionsgate.”

They added, “Because while what the world needs now might be love sweet love, it also needs to see an Oscar winning actress and a Real Housewife come together to present a very heavy award to Oprah, if we can book her. Oprah, u up?!”

Celebrities like Andy Cohen took the stage to present big moments, such as the Record of the Year category.

The honor went to “Abracadabra” by Lady Gaga, with Rogers and Yang accepting on her behalf.

“Wooow hi, it’s Matt and Bowen again, you might recognize us from the entire show,” Yang joked.

Rogers quipped, “We know you are proud of us just for getting through the song.”

Yang expressed gratitude for an incredible night, and Rogers, teary-eyed, sent love to everyone tuning in.

“Now give these real awards to Gaga, you cowards!” Rogers exclaimed before they closed the night with, “We love you and good night!”

Lisa Rinna, always celebrated for her unique looks, claimed the coveted Outfit of the Year, with renowned stylist Law Roach presenting.

Rinna’s confidence and flair topped a memorable nominee list, proving anything is possible with personal style.

The stage buzzed with laughter when Renee Rapp presented her namesake award for Excellence in Lesbianism, reading a sweet speech from the “grandma” who took home the prize.

Music was a centerpiece of the evening, with Jensen McRae serenading the audience in a beautiful blue gown as she performed “Massachusetts.”

Allison Janney was recognized with the Lifetime of Culture award, presented by Kristen Wiig in a heartfelt tribute complete with dancers celebrating her diverse career highlights.

“I don’t think anything better will ever happen to me in my life,” Janney shared. “That was extraordinary.”

She joked about finally receiving “an award that is worthy of accepting while not wearing pants.”

“It’s incredibly humbling and probably my favorite award show I’ve ever attended,” Janney concluded with a smile.

The night included a whimsical “In Absentia” segment, where Yang and Rogers performed “I Don’t Want to Miss A Thing” as a loving nod to stars who couldn’t attend, while humorous reasons for their absence played onscreen.

Quinta Brunson won the special Eva Longoria award for Tiny Woman, Huge Impact, outshining notable fellow nominees.

“And I want to say: To every bathroom mirror that told me I couldn’t see, I can see me now!” Brunson shouted, receiving a round of applause.

Quirky presenters like Julio Torres and Kate Berlant kept the laughs coming as the Las Culturistas Culture Awards proved once again that celebrating pop culture can be equal parts silly and heartwarming.
